I too, just experienced this new pattern (yesterday). While it's definitely an improvement for the folks coming from 64E, the loss of the lane from 95S definitely needs more warning/signage.

Yes, the exit from 95S onto Boulevard is more difficult with having to cross two lanes, but at least we're not fighting so hard with the folks on 64 trying to squeeze into "our" lane. I haven't come from the 64E side, but I'm hoping there was a signage change to encourage drivers to stay left and keep folks out of the exit only lane who don't intend to exit. I suspect this may have happened since the actual exit-only lane is much more empty at morning rush hour than before this traffic pattern change.

Thanks for your reply! It's true that the Boulevard Exit lane was emptier, and it makes sense that it will be emptier once people learn the new pattern. That makes me hopeful that exiting there won't be too problematic. I appreciate your reply!

I'm not sure what the ultimate plan is for the exit itself. Seems like they may be making it into two lanes, one for northbound Boulevard traffic, and another for south(?)
